Non-Contact Assessment of Swallowing Dysfunction Using Smartphone Captured Skin Displacements

Sensors, 2023
Early and accurate dysphagia diagnosis is essential for reducing the risk of associated co-morbidities and mortalities. Barriers to current evaluation methods may alter the effectiveness of identifying at-risk patients.

Thickness of residual wetting film in liquid-liquid displacement

Physical Review E, 2011
Core-annular flow is common in nature, representing, for example, how streams of oil, surrounded by water, move in petroleum reservoirs. Oil, typically a nonwetting fluid, tends to occupy the middle (core) part of a channel, while water forms a surrounding wall-wetting film. What is the thickness of the wetting film?

Oil Residual Layers in Water-Oil Displacement Flow

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
This paper investigates on the water-oil displacement flow in downward inclined pipe, which is a practical application in chemical and oil industry. The experiments were conducted in a 3.5m long 15mm inner diameter downward transparent pipe. The pipe can be flexibly tilted to specific inclination and water inlet velocity was controlled by a needle ...

Using mechanical testing to assess the effect of lower-limb prosthetic socket texturing on longitudinal suspension.

PLoS ONE, 2020
To function effectively, a lower limb prosthetic socket must remain securely coupled to the residual limb during walking, running and other activities of daily living; this coupling is referred to as suspension.

RESIDUAL DISPLACEMENT RESPONSE SPECTRUM AND ITS APPLICATION

Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1994
構造物が大規模地震を受けて非線形域の応答を生じた場合には, 構造物には残留変位が生じる. したがって, 構造物に許すじん性率をあまり大きくすると, 地震後に構造物には大きな残留変位が生じ, 復旧不能となる. 本研究は, バイリニア型復元力特性を有する各種の固有周期, じん性率を有する1自由度系に生じる残留変位から残留変位応答スペクトルを提案し, この特性を検討するとともに, 提案値に基づいて鉄筋コンクリート橋脚に予想される残留変位を検討したものである.

Feasibility and Safety of Somato‐Cognitive Coordination Therapy for Cerebellar Ataxia Following Pediatric Brain Tumor Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebellar ataxia after pediatric brain tumor treatment can cause persistent gait, balance, and speech impairment, yet no established rehabilitation strategy exists. Somato‐cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) is a virtual reality–guided intervention designed to promote sensorimotor integration through visually constrained reaching

Influence of thermo-mechanical material properties on the structural response of a welded butt-joint by FEM simulation and experimental tests

Forces in Mechanics, 2021
This paper deals with the development of a Finite Element (FE) model for the simulation of a two-passes V-groove butt weld joint. Specifically, in order to reduce the computational costs and the efforts aimed to the numerical evaluation of residual ...

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
